I Hate My Cats (A Love Story)

Description

Ginger is the weird one. She plays with peas, purrs at artichokes, and has a penchant for chicken (but only the neighbor's chicken). Then there's Fred. His life achievement? Sleeping. And resting. Oh, and hiding. And when he isn't hiding, he's conspiring with Ginger to destroy the house! Such is life with cats: Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em-if you love them, that is. And yet the question remains: Why are these captivating creatures so marvelously maddening?! This humorous picture book by internationally bestselling author Davide Cali about a cat owner and his beguiling felines is a spirited celebration of our coveted, albeit quirky, companions, impurrrfections, and all.
